Basenji owner or breeder in Long Island, New York

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Hi, Does anyone know a Basenji Breeder or individual owner in Long Island, New York ?
    I have a gentleman wanting to purchase my last puppy, but the problem is one of his children has allergies. I would really feel better if he could take her around a Basenji to see how she will react before making a purchase and shipping the puppy.
    Any help would be appreciated !!
    God Bless,
    Dee

  • I live in Queens New York, but I can take my B to Lond Island for a visit. If you want email me here or privatly or have the potential owner e-mail me. Long Island is pretty big but if the ride is not too long I don't mind. Or they can come by us and see what a nice B house looks like. (socks in the crate with holes, kids stuffed animals now his, no nice decorations on the table tops, plants up high).

  • Thanks so much!! I have sent you a PM. Michael should be contacting you soon.
    Thanks again for your help!!
    God Bless,
    Dee

  • Check for allergies - I put together a strange packet that can help. I take a Q-tip and swab the inside of the dogs mouth, then take a fine comb and scrape on the skin - trying to get some dander up. I put both items in a paper towel, and then a baggy I tell the folks to take the packet out of the bag and put it under the allerigic persons pillow. If they wake up and don't have watery eyes or a rash or something - they should be ok.

  • Another good way is to go for a car ride with a B or 2… windows up....

    but that is a great idea, Diane.......

  • Am I the only one that absolutely loves the way they smell? from chris and tom on Cape Cod :)

  • I have to admit I love sniffing my B

    As I've said several times in different threads - Covid has brought out a plethora of would-be Basenji owners, not just in UK but across Europe. We are starting to fear dogs being dumped into Rescue when lockdown is lifted and people return to work in offices , having realised there is far more to owning a Basenji than just the facts that they don't bark, are small and keep themselves clean like cats. I have had well over 70 - probably 80 now the weekend's crop of enquiries has been dealt with per email and entered into my notes - and am at a loss to be able to tell them of a single breeder who doesn't already have a waiting list full to overflowing. Anyone posting me privately will receive a detailed response but it won't carry too much hope for this winter.

    I very much doubt that you will find a Basenji in the UK this coming winter. Covid seems to have convinced so many people they can now have a dog - and they light upon Basenjis for a number of reasons, often without going thoroughly into the challenges of ownership of one of these challenging little animals ! All the breeders I know have full waiting lists even after filtering out all but the most promising future owners. I haven't bred for over 10 years but enquiries for puppies still come in, several a week - two just this morning. We just have to hope that irresponsible people won't mate un-health-tested dogs, just to cash in on demand. It all depends on the allergy - whether a Basenji will or won't affect your wife. They shed, often pretty constantly throughout the year instead of one big winter-coat moult although some lines do have that.

    Not too many responsible breeders in Fla... go to www.basenji.org and search by state. Note that Basenjis only come in season once a year and 99% of puppies are only born Nov/Dec/Jan, so you most likely will not find any pups this time of year
